I would estimated that Jorus would be the practitioner of both techniques.

the clone joruus only used battle meditation cause there weren't any other jedis around

the actual jorus used a full meld with 5 other jedi during outbound flight several times, it was so effective the six jedi took control of the minds of everyone in a full battle fleet poised against them

and know back to the topic which is Thrawn's Empire.
Would Thrawn have been able to stop piracy or only decrease it if he would have been in command of the Galaxy?

with stability/peace the amount of piracy would naturaly increase (along with trade, etc)

But I think Thrawn would test his war machine against pirates before Yuuzhan Vong attack. And pirates are no match for Thrawn

Wasn't Thrawn's ideas were to never attack first, I don't think Thrawn will willing engage a battle to show off military dominance.

Have you read Outbound Flight? In that book it is explained that Thrawn suggested preemptive strikes against vagaari. And because pirates and smugglers would disturbe Thrawns peace, he would hunt them down. And it is not showing of, it is testing and training for ships and their crews.

but remember that Car'das was a smuggler, and he befriended him, and made us of him, i dont think that Thrawn would go all-out against smugglers - pirates maybe

Yes I have read Outbound Flight, and the only reason Thrawn even attempted to attack the vagaari was because of their savage ways. Normal pirates don't use living beings as shields.

Pirates and smugglers are very different though, smugglers just avoid taxes, pirates kill and steal

Didn't Thrawn say that Vagaari were thread to anyone even Chiss and they sholud be destroyed before they attack Chiss? Thrawn was the strongest advocate of preemtive strikes in Chiss Ascendancy.

only against those that would pose a direct threat

Meyer · « **Reply #72 on:** June 12, 2007, 02:34:29 PM »

pirates are quite big threat to common people, traders and those who have business to attend to. And I think people want to get rid of pirates if possible, don't you?

Wal-Mart Shoplifter · « **Reply #73 on:** June 12, 2007, 02:51:43 PM »

Pirates are just criminals with a fancy title, There is no way not even in Thrawn's Empire to eliminate crime.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #74 on:** June 12, 2007, 02:56:42 PM »

He'd probably be able to break up the biggest pirate groups if he want to though

or he could use them to his advantage, like he did with the ship thief Niles Ferrier

Meyer · « **Reply #75 on:** June 12, 2007, 02:59:33 PM »

He would have tried to eradicate pirates but propably he wouldn't have caught them all.
Thrawn used Ferrier only because needed ships to battle against rebels. If Thrawn had ruled the Empire there would have been no reason to steal ships. And if Thrawn had ruled I don't think he would have ruled an Empire. Maybe he would have kept the name Republic.

I agree 100% with you there.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #77 on:** June 12, 2007, 03:03:10 PM »

Maybe give the senate power to do what they want but he has the overall say if he thinks something should be done

Wal-Mart Shoplifter · « **Reply #78 on:** June 12, 2007, 03:04:26 PM »

So then that would make a Thrawn a chancellor?

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #79 on:** June 12, 2007, 03:05:50 PM »

Sort of, except he could always take emergency powers or whatever whenever he wanted to and didnt really have to listen to the senate
